Deep vein thrombosis is blood clotting in the deep veins which blocks the blood flow. High blood viscosity, slow blood flow and damage to the vessel wall are three reasons for this disease. It often affects leg veins and is often seen postpartum women, pelvic surgery patients, people with trauma and bedridden patients. Symptoms include limb swelling and pain. If the thrombosis falls off, it can cause pulmonary embolism, which is life-threatening. If the case is severe, you should consider deep vein valve reconstruction surgery.
